I've been noticing in the mirror the last few weeks or so, that I'm getting that puny look. I feel like I don't look healthy. Maybe my body needs to catch up with my weight loss or something, or maybe it's just due to getting older, I don't know...but I've also noticed in the last month or so that my hair is really growing in gray!! This is new to me. As I was driving home from the store a little bit ago, I thought to myself this could all be juddds fault. That maybe it isn't good for me. I was going to ask if anyone else had noticed their hair turning gray since juddd, but before I could get home, I started to panic and felt like I should get some calories in my body(it is a dd for me) and so I formulated a plan to go through the Baskin Robbins drive thru, which I didI wasn't hungry, it was just a panic. I had an ice cream cone then came home and opened a soda and had a large handful of sweetened coconut. I'm kind of right now.
Has anyone else noticed the gray hair thing???

Thanks, I am hoping it isn't juddds fault, but I already ruined today's dd. It could be the new shampoo I'm using, I started using Clear shampoo and conditioner around the same time I started juddd. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. I want to look strong, not puny, so I guess I better start doing better at exercising. Thanks Adi

I'm 36 and have had quite a bit of grey hair for the last 6 yrs. I highly doubt that JUDDD causes grey hair. I guess anything is possible, but try not to panic. I think we just start to go grey when ever G-d feels it is time

Sher, don't know about the hair going grey with JUDDD as mine started to turn grey when I was 18! But the puny look I have seen many times, it stays for a week or two, sorts itself out and goes away, then couple of months later I see it again! I am seeing one right now! Mind you, it could be my glasses instead of the contact lenses I usually wear (lenses are generally more magnifying somehow) I panic too for a little while then I walk into the closet and try on pants or tops that were too tight before, they generally fit better. Panic automatically disappears! So vain! I know!

You are lucky if you are just now noticing the grey. I have dark brown hair and have been finding greys in it since I was 13 or so! It runs in the family.

Now that I am 31, I'm seeing many more. It helps me, psychologically, if I attack them before they are really apparent. I simply make an appointment with my hairdresser once ever 6 weeks. I hardly even notice them then.

I once read Jennifer Lopez say that she is completely grey - has been for quite a long time. I suppose the grey problem is the "easiest" aging problem you can have.....

Also, certain lights, like florescent, can REALLY make the grey stand out (esp. in dressing rooms).

I switched hair stylists this year due a personal conflict. I always asked my old stylist if I had grays and she always said no. My new stylist says I have a few, so maybe it WAS JUDDD. My mother never colored her hair (she does now) and didn't really start showing gray hair until her sixties, so I have it in my genes. Don't worry, it's an easy fix.

Early grey for me, too. I think the last time I didn't have to color my hair was my late 20s. I have to color every 4-5 weeks now and I swear I could do it weekly. It's actually not the 75% grey that bothers me the most, it's the thinning, super fine lack of hair that bothers me. I hate being able to see my scalp all the time.

I messed up my DD tooHoliday weekend threw me for a loop.Im not sure if your puny "look " is the same thing ive noticed lately but It seems like all of a sudden I will have ALOT less muscle toneIt freaked me out when it happened last week and I feared it was JUDDD doing it.This week its back to normaland my weight is down 2 more lbs.Weightloss does have strange patterns with me.I look tone and think ive lost weight and havent...then I get puffy looking and jiggly and drop a lb or 2...ive come to appreciate the jiggly puff a little more now as it usually means a loss on the scale in a day or two.
My hair is grey some around my ears but it is only the underneath and you can only see it if I lift my hair up and its more white than grey(people think its highlights)...havent noticed any more greying since losing weight though.

Thanks for everyone's input, guess I should have came here before hitting the BR drive-thru. But I was seriously in a panic probably hormones, stress and hunger, lol. I also had a bowlful of hot cheetos and about 3/4 cup of left over coconut/sour cream/frosting.(Grumblefrosting!) It turned into a full on UD or more. My hair, and I, am just getting older. Back to rotations! Onward juddd soldiers.

Great attitude....we all have these moments! And yes i also have noticed those grays peeking through and it is a bummer!

Me too! I also started going grey at 18. And, while I've never considered myself "puny," (not skinny enough yet), I have had skin that starts looking crepe-y in areas, that goes away. (phew).

I had very little grey hair before I started JUDDD
(I'd had about 8-10 strands for over 5 years, but they were all in one spot, which I thought might turn into a cool streak one day )

2-3 months later, I noticed a few dozen grey hairs starting to sprout in different spots all over my head.

I stopped JUDDDing about a year ago, and the grey hairs are still growing.
A few months ago, I did find one grey hair with a dark root, and was temporarily hopeful that I had somehow reversed the process!!!

So, I definitely felt/suspected that JUDDD brought on grey hair for me, but stopping JUDDD didn't stop the grey hair, so maybe it was just a coincidence. I'm turning 41 in a couple weeks.

See! I'm not the only one. I will always wonder.. My mother, who turns 69 tomorrow, has not one gray hair.

My hair has been coming in slightly gray around my temples and my part. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to it but when it gets really noticable (to me at least) I make a trip to the salon and get it colored.

Aw Sher, I think you just had a moment of panic. We all have them! They come without warning and for no good reason. I know the "puny" look you're talking about. I think I see it some mornings when I'm putting on my makeup. Other mornings I don't. So I don't think I'm objective at all. It may even have something to do with my confidence level that day. (Please don't tell me I look that way ALL the time, but only know it sometimes!)

Sher, ..sorry to hear you had a bad time of it. I think you will be even more beautiful as a strawberry blonde...it's fun to change up, sometimes...also..I wanted to thank you for the offer of your "heavenly" coconut cake recipe..I am going to look forward to making one when I get a lot closer to goal..and if you want to make it a swap, I will give you me very best broccoli casserole recipe, unless you hate broccoli, or course..

awww sorry to hear about the grays! I've been getting gray hair since I was 26, long before JUDDD was even something I'd heard of. But I completely understand that moment of panic. Hope today is a bit better for you.

I have been fighting the battle of the grey since my early 20s. I finally decided to give in. The transition period for growing out my color was awful! Now it has all grown out and I don't mind the grey at all! After I have lost a few more pounds I will post a new picture for everyone to see. I am almost totally grey! Sometimes you just need to embrace it. The thought of being grey is worse than the reality.
